Is This the Most Stylish Soccer Club on the Planet?

While the main perk of playing for Bayern Munich is that you basically get to dominate German soccer for the rest of time, a nice little bonus is that you also get spruce up in a made-to-measure Armani suit and get shot by one of the biggest fashion photographers on the planet.

For the 2016-17 Bundesliga season, Italian brand Giorgio Armani has once again teamed up with FC Bayern Munich to create tailored clothing, accessories, and casual travel gear for the players. The dressier options—from the Giorgio Armani Made to Measure service—include a wool-and-cashmere suit with a two-button jacket and flat-front trousers, plus a white cotton jacquard shirt, V-neck cashmere slipover, silk tie, and camel-colored coat.

Accessories include longwing brogues, a belt, a backpack, and a suitcase, all in dark brown matte leather. As for the casual wear, the players get an Armani polo shirt, blazer, and trousers in navy blue cashmere jersey for traveling days.

And to commemorate the whole affair, the team was photographed in their sharp new Italian duds by renowned German photographer (and Bayern Munich fan) Jeurgen Teller, who subverted tradition just a bit by focusing on the behind the scenes aspects of the shoot. That's him (and his son) in the photo above.

If you'd like to get your hands on a similar look—albeit without the glory of dominating a major European soccer league—you can head to any Giorgio Armani boutique worldwide and take advantage of the brand's Made to Measure service.
